Liffey Banks follows the course of the River Liffey on its journey to the sea, starting from its origins in the Wicklow hills, before moving through Kildare, and onwards to its journey’s end in Dublin Bay.

The images presented here have been taken in a variety of locations, including some of the abandoned spaces along the river but also the people who live beside it, or who use the river as a place of recreation.

Through this journey, Liffey Banks seeks to deepen the understanding of the river’s connection to the regions through which it passes and the communities it touches, capturing both the beauty and the diversity of the areas surrounding the river.

Liffey Banks highlights the interwoven relationship between nature and culture, reflecting not only the physical journey of the river but also its significance in shaping the identity of the surrounding lands and its people.

Urban Echoes

Urban Echoes is an exploration of temporality, a way of representing a fascination with urban environments and their inhabitants, while also serving as a reflection on the fluidity of time within the city. The subjects photographed register their presences differently in each image.

They Call it Progress. Over the past decade, the south inner city of Dublin has undergone a transformation marked by the controversial process of gentrification. This book captures images portraying the transformation of urban landscapes, showcasing modern, towering office blocks and apartments replacing former warehouses and abandoned areas.
